john_the_bass Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Are there any custom pedal board builders in the UK that come recommended by the good people of Basschat? I have an NYC pedalboard - a Gigman with a wah plate and a second row raised tier. A mate of mine wants one but by the time you add an 18"riser, wah plate and butterfly catches, it comes out at $251 before you get kicked up the arse with any customs charges - it seems quite a lot of money for what is ultimately a carpet covered wooden box (albeit one covered with proper velcro carpet). At the current exchange rate it works out at £158 plus whatever customs charges it's hit with - do you think it's possible to have something made to roughly the same spec for the same money?

Delberthot Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 or make it yourself? That's what I'm planning to do - it is just wood, carpet or paint and velcro. That way you have one made exactly how you want it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_the_bass Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 Don't have the skills and as it's not for me, I don't want to have a go. Just wondered if there is a pro service offered by any companies that ultimately, if it falls to bits inside 6 months, you would hope would sort it out for you.

tayste_2000 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I'm also looking for the same but mounted in a proper flightcase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-L-B Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Best option is do to it yourself. Bear in mind that when you're ordering a custom board it's actually the time and labour you're paying for as it's got to be built to your specifications, not just whizzed off the end of a mass production line.
